Microprocessors from chips to systems

I originally read this book's first edition about 21 years ago, and I gained a lot from it. Some of my software developers wanted to gain a good understanding of how things happen under the hood, so I started searching for this book, and luckily found this sold here! I immediately ordered a copy! The best part is that the book makes no assumption about the reader having an electronics (digital or analog) background, but still goes into a great level of detail.

By today's standards this is an ancient account. Nonetheless, for those without an electronics background this is still the most accessible explanation of what goes on at the hardware / firmware level of computing equipment. Still HIGHLY recommended for high-level programmers who want a clue about the substrate.
